Commentary
Toujours dans la logique de chaque série d’avoir ses bustes cuirassés, nous trouvons avec cet exemplaire deux graveurs remarquables, un très intéressant portrait et une belle fabrication qui changent agréablement des usages de la série des aigles aux ailes à gros points.
Always in the logic of each series of having its armored busts, we find with this example two remarkable engravers, a very interesting portrait and a beautiful production which pleasantly changes the uses of the series of eagles with large-pointed wings

Historical background
ELAGABALUS
(16/05/218-12/03/222)
Proclaimed emperor on May 16, 218, Elagabalus, sole august until the end of June or the beginning of July, left Syria to join Rome. Elagabalus stops at Nicomedia. He spent the whole winter there and fell ill. It was therefore in this city that he took up his second consulship. Elagabal will not arrive in Rome until July or September 219, bringing the black stone of his cult to install him in his capital. He will never return to Syria, quickly assassinated after an unequaled reign of turpitude and disorder.
